"Like at Singburi, your table at Dilara should barely be visible. It should be peeking out from underneath enormous servings of big plate chicken, glossy legmen noodles, and piles of cumin-rubbed lamb skewers. And there should definitely be a few stains on it by the end. The Uyghur restaurant in Finsbury Park is a reliable big group spot—not just because it can easily fit a small army, but because its mix of Turkish, Sichuan, and Uyghur cuisine will please any palate. For midweek get-togethers you’re almost guaranteed to be fine to walk in, unless Arsenal are playing." - jake missing
